Salt Spring Island Lamb Chops

A simple and very tasty way to enjoy some of the best lamb you can buy. I love the taste of Salt Spring Island lamb and this recipe is the perfect way to dress up some chops…give it a try!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

2 cloves or 1 tablespoon garlic (chopped or minced)

1/8th teaspoon salt

1/8th teaspoon pepper

1/8th teaspoon paprika

8 salt spring island lamb chops

Directions

Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to combine.

Apply marinade liberally to both sides of the lamb chops and marinate for up to 8 hours. You do not need to marinate, but it is nice.

Now grill the lamb chops on a preheated BBQ for 3-6 minutes per side depending on the thickness.

Alternatively, you could cook the marinated chops in your oven. Place the lamb on a baking tray, set the oven rack on the second from the top and set your oven to broil. Broil for 6-8 minutes per side, or until nicely browned and cooked to desired temperature.

Serve and enjoy!

Variations

You could skip the mustard if its not your thing and use 1 tablespoon of lemon juice instead, but this will produce a much more liquidy marinade.
